Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells | ||||||
20 | ★ Statistical Scare Tactics | 15m | ||||
Great fun on great rock with a punchy little finish.
|
||||||
20 | ★ Starseed | 11m | ||||
Low crimpy crux then sweet edge pulling up the steeper headwall. Bolts where you want them. Will certainly come back for a second shot.
|
||||||
Fri 28th Dec 2018 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall | ||||||
25 | ★ Ernest in Africa | 12m | ||||
Pleasantly varied climbing up an aesthetic feature. One long/strong move at the last bolt.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Chase the Lady | 14m, 5 | ||||
Oof. Couldn't stick the crux.
|

17 | ★ Electrostatic Axila | 15m | ||||
Loves the slabby finish.

Cool start, deceptively pumpy.

Super pitch. Nicely consistent. Thought I wasn't even pumped till I had to clip the second last bolt.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Ninja Tactics | 18m, 7 | ||||
19 | ★ The Big Boss | 12m, 6 | ||||

Ocean Vista Area | ||||||
22 | ★★ Ninja Tactics | 18m, 7 | ||||
Really enjoy this route. So much so I'm happy to have to come back for it. Sorted the start, just need to clip smarter. One sit at the 2nd last bolt.
|
||||||
Mon 3rd Dec 2018 - Mt Ninderry | ||||||

22 | ★★ Skeleton Coast | 17m | ||||
I started left of the first bolt and broke lots of rock. Downclimbed from the second and bailed to Ocean Vista.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Three Stroke Scree Slope | 15m, 6 | ||||
25 | ★★★ Nitroglycerin | 15m, 6 | ||||
That finish though. Could be heartbreaking. Get in early to beat the sun.

Desperation Wall | ||||||
16 | ★★ Line Of Credit | 70m, 23 | ||||
Really consistent climbing moves at the grade on solid rock. Very uncharacteristic for Tibro slabbing. Then a well protected step up and around the rooflet. Thoroughly pleasant

Good consistent warmup.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Tin Man | 18m | ||||
Reachy moves leading into a reachy span at the crux, at full wingspan from the undercling on the highest feet possible I still came up 3 inches short, an ugly pop ensued.

Blackheath Area Pulpit Rock Bellbird Wall area | ||||||
18 | ★★ Bellbird Wall | 100m, 16 | ||||
So I neglected to look at any approach info after the rapping instructions and ended up climbing the gr 22 first pitch of TND. No wonder it felt bloody hard for 16. By the next pitch we were back on track and loving life despite arctic conditions and climbing in jackets. Top chimney pitch is a rad exposed novelty, worth it for that few meters of climbing alone.

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★ Ness is Best | 20m, 8 | ||||
The start looked cool so I had a play while the rope was up. Rad bouldery for the first two bolts then thin up top.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Dragon's Egg | 20m, 8 | ||||
Lovely technical slab then changes style and intensity above the bulge.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Powerbra Rangers | 23m, 8 | ||||
First shot I clipped the final bolt then potato'd going over the lip... stiff. I'll come back.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Nice Vice Baby | 20m, 9 | ||||
Fun, once you find the holds to pull round the lip.

Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area | ||||||
24 | ★ Cave Route | 10m, 4 | ||||
My anti-style but we have to work on our weaknesses.
That third UB placement on the bulge is a top biner breaker. We slung it with a runner. Fun dry and shady route though.

18 | ★ Spook Eyes | 10m, 4 | ||||
Climbed mostly the corner being the LLR, clipped the bolts. Would be a different route entirely to climb the left arete. Contrived to have a face eliminate as a route. Super contrived to have a an eliminate that includes one arete but not the other. Irrespective, had fun.

20 | ★ Old Blobby | 25m | ||||
Quality juggy warm up. Deceptively pumpy if you don't work the rests. Thuggy start but heel hooking keeps it true to the grade.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Good Big Dog | 22m | ||||
Sweet moves, always enough intermediate footers that it is never unavoidably reachy. No individual cruxy sequence but is a long slow forearm burner.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Cryogenics | 25m | ||||
Also quality. Awkward hip scum start to positive edge pulling with a short thin sequence 3/4 of the way up. Same difficulty as GBD

Trying alternate beta for the moves past the 2nd draw. Getting higher into the chossy jug rail to set the knee scum.

This was pretty nice, gently slabby on great holds in a sweet position. Would get loads of traffic at ground level, shame about the traverse over to the start.

17 | ★★ Back cracker | 12m, 4 | ||||
Broke a good undercling off at the 3rd. Well bolted and a good addition. Could be extended another bolt to chains just below the lip to include the gymnastic moves up the overhanging final headwall.
|
||||||

Top roped this prow in 2016 through to just below the lip at 21/22ish. Glad to see it now has bolts.

A lot more sporty than I was expecting, only needed 1 piece of pro and a few slings. Loads of bolts on all the harder pitches and better rock quality than some of the more trafficked routes, last pitch aside. Linked pitches 2/3 and 5/6 pretty comfortably. Ripper day on the mountain, thanks to John for gifting me the stellar 4th pitch arete. Deserves more traffic.
